Question

• Which version of TLS is used by the Cloud Connectors?
• Can I change the TLS version used by Cloud Connectors?
• What cipher suites are offered by the Cloud Connectors?

Answer

Cloud Connectors use Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.3 by default.

  • The TLS Connector supports whatever version the server offers, up to TLS v1.3.

  • It does not attempt to downgrade the cipher suite; instead, it automatically selects the highest supported one offered by the server.

  • Changing the TLS version is only possible by modifying what the target server advertises. The Connector itself does not override this negotiation.

  • The Connector offers a set of secure cipher suites, although the specific list may vary by implementation.

Cause

TLS negotiation is handled dynamically between the Connector and the server. The Connector is designed to prioritize security by selecting the most secure cipher suite the server supports. This ensures compliance with modern encryption standards while maintaining interoperability with a wide range of server configurations.
